    Salted Caramel Latte, Cheesecake brownie, and lemon poppy seed muffin
    Parker S.

    We drove here on an early Sunday morning to grab coffee before a walk at Shelby park. The ambience is a small coffee shop with the hustle and bustle of people grabbing coffee and headed off to work, church, etc. The workers were nice and were patient while we looked at the bunch of delicious goodies they've got. Coffee: - Salted Caramel Latte (4.5/5) exactly as described. Just a delicious latte with a dash of salt and a good punch of caramel. Ooof this was the best thing I had for sure. Food: - Chocolate cheesecake brownie (3/5) good but not very sweet for a brownie, and the cheesecake portion was really hard to actually taste. I'd grab something else next time I come. - Lemon poppyseed muffin (4/5) really tasty and chalk full of icing and a hint of lemon flavor. Would of liked a bit more lemon taste, but also nice for those that don't love a bunch of acidity. Overall, I wasnt in love with Slow Hand, but I do think its a really good spot for grab and go coffee and a pastry on the way to some plans/work.

    All the scratch pastries just out on display!! Yumskies!!!

    Oooh yeah baby, I found a great one this time! Slow Hand Coffee Bakeshop is an awesome place to wake up and go to. Its not a snuggly kind of place but it is Comfort Food Heaven. I cant remember ever having so much option anxiety about coffee shoppe offerings, but I languished in it. The egg and cheese biscuit I ate was one of the very best I've ever had: a flaky, (but not dry) biscuit and an egg that was soft but not runny. It was quite wonderfully put together I must say. Actually, there were so many fantastic choices, many I'd never ever heard of, that make me thrilled to wake up tomorrow and go back!!!

    Quiet and quaint cafe, great for catching up with friends or family. The atmosphere is cozy and welcomes you for extended periods of time. Things you should know: I. PARKING There's a private parking lot in front of the building and also behind ~ easy & FREE. II. SERVICE Accomodating III. QUALITY The Americano I ordered was very dense and concentrated ~ I was very happy it wasn't watered down. Definitely recommend the pecan shortbread cookie, we all shared one and couldn't get enough..! IV. CAPACITY Available seating for a Friday late-morning.

    I visited at the perfect time of year to try literally almost all their pumpkin treats and every single one was sublime! I love the atmosphere inside this little shop for a cup of coffee and cranking out some work, and the big dog friendly front porch for a slow morning and conversation. This will be a regular stop and a place I take friends and family to visit!

    This coffee and pastry shop is a bit small. They seem to focus on hot coffees and lattes, but I was in an iced coffee mood which they might have only had one of. I was more in the mood for a cool handcrafty iced coffee drink like at Starbucks. I ended up just getting water and a cookie. I got the Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie. It was pretty good. Staff was pretty nice as well.

    A much welcomed coffee shop to a little strip of Gallatin that I hope is an on-going trend of walkable businesses and restaurants in East Nashville along Gallatin. It's nice to have more places that aren't just late night establishments and places to venture during the day. They've got great baked goods and their biscuit sandwiches are awesome. Pelican and Pig is going up adjacent to them and I'm excited for that concept of open fire cooking. The whole motiff is very rustic. The coffee is great, ample seating in the cafe and the biscuits they were serving were awesome. The chicken biscuit had amazing flavor. Not to mention he seasonings on the breading keep you wanting more. It's not greasy and didn't feel heavy. The biscuit was flaky and had a great time to them. Crunchy outside and creamy inside. Well done! I'll be back and hopefully will have extended hours. Would be great to come in after work to hang out.

    I stopped by to grab some coffee and to satisfy my sweet/carb tooth.They have a large display that showcases what they currently have and we had trouble deciding which ones to get because they all looked so delicious. I ended up with the pumpkin scone, so freakin good and also massive for $3! I saved half and ended up eating that as a snack later in the day. I also got a latte which was good (not super coffee heavy just the way I like it!) I've read other reviews of slow/bad customer service and did not really experience that. The staff that helped us out were pleasant and service was great. It did take us a while to get our coffees, but hey it's covid what can you say? And FYI this is smaller space so, social distancing guidelines are a bit harder to follow. Overall, it's great place to stop by for coffee and some baked treats!

    Egg & Cheese Biscuit Sandwich.

    Right next to Pelican & Pig this is on permanent rotation for breakfast sammies & pastries. Can always count on the bacon, egg & cheese biscuit to hit the spot. I almost always get a pastry while I'm at it - today was the walnut banana bread - so good. Shopper beware - they only make so many sandwiches so when they run out they run out. There's a few parking spots right out front of the entrance, a few to the side, but then street parking is your best bet if those are full.

    We loved our breakfast at Milk and Honey!…read more I've read this place can get very busy and have lengthy waits! Thankfully when we stopped in on a recent weekday morning there was no wait and we were seated in the most perfect spot right away! We chose an outdoor table! The outdoor patio is so nice, even in the Nashville summer heat!! We got there before it was super hot out and the patio kept us super comfortable the whole time!! :) We had a really great waitress who was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to help us make the best decisions for what we were craving!! We started with a couple of drip coffees that came out in adorable cups, on saucers, with spoons, very lovely appearance! Quite delicious! We ordered a fried chicken biscuit sandwich that was served with their home fries and a side of country gravy. This was delicious! I HIGHLY recommend trying their table hot sauce! We loved it so much we bought a bottle to take home!! :) We also ordered the Chicken and waffles. This dish is also served with home fries and a then a side of syrup. This meal was also fantastic!! We had a really great experience at Milk and Honey and would highly recommend for someone looking for not just a good meal, but an entire lovely breakfast experience! :) Don't forget to check out their gift shop and bakery treats to go, on your way out!!

    It was busy when we got here on a Sunday but it went pretty fast. We were asked about apps and…read moresettled on just getting that. (We had other dinner plans in a few hrs) we got the ricotta/honey bread, the honey butter biscuits and a Bloody Mary. Ricotta/honey: everyone raves about this but we thought it was boring. Ricotta was cold but the bread was warm. No flavor. Added salt and pepper just for something. It gives me ideas of something better to make some day do for that I'm Grateful. Biscuits: husband and friends loved them!! Could have used more butter but still good. Bloody Mary- YEEEESSS!! It was perfect. Our friend got the hot chicken and he loved it. I had 1 bite and it was definitely hot!! And yes- very good. All in all, a good different brunch place for an out of towner. Nothing amazing that I will come back for. Great customer service!

    We had the BEST experience at Biscuit Love!!! A new favorite for sure!!…read more Biscuit Love turned us on to the chicken/biscuit breakfast!! We live in Michigan so this southern fare was SUCH a welcomed change!! We walked in to this spot and were immediately struck by how cute it is! I would recommend checking out the menu before you go because once you enter you are immediately in the line to place your order at the counter! There isn't a lot of room in this area so standing there trying to read the menu for an extended time is difficult! I love to read the entire menu before deciding so for me, I need the extra time! ;) We placed our order and then they seated us at one of their tables with a number. The kitchen brings out the order to your table when it's ready. Everything on the menu sounded so very good, it was hard to choose! Because I was using yelp to see what the menu items looked like I was able to spot a "secret menu item" as the staff member explained. I ended up order the "Nasty Princess". The princess sandwich, which is the Nashville hot chicken version, but add gravy and and egg! AMAZING! This was so, so good! I highly recommend! I also ordered a side of the fried potatoes, which were also very good but ended up being way too much food!! The biscuit sandwich was very large and incredibly filling!! :) We also ordered an egg plate with an upgrade to the chronic bacon - HIGHLY recommend the chronic bacon!! This was super delicious and very unique!! We LOVED the cheese grits on this plate as well as the biscuit with jam!! This is a good choice if you like a platter of different, separated items! For drinks we tried an Iced Sunshine latte, which was very tasty, but very sweet and over the top for our preferences while eating a meal. The drip coffee was wonderful! A perfect compliment to any dish!! :) Biscuit Love is the perfect southern charm spot for a WONDERFUL breakfast experience! Super kind staff, super delicious food, super cute atmosphere... you can even purchase a mug or piece of cute merch to take home to remember your fun time!! We will for sure be back!

I'll start off by saying I'm not the biggest fan of pancakes, nor cinnamon and have to be in the mood for both. Today happened to be the day. I tried their pancake sampler, with cinnamon, Caribbean and banana bread pancakes. They were all good, fluffy, airy and flavorful. Banana bread with their maple syrup, Caribbean with cinnamon. But, their cinnamon pancakes were amazing!! Those were definitely the winner!!! Best pancakes I've ever had. Their three pig omelette was pretty bomb as well. I got some of their sausage gravy on the side, to douse the omelette and that was definitely the move there. I think this is the first time I didn't need to use cholula for flavoring. The location is centralized, set up nicely, with huge open indoor space with plenty of seating outside. The service was great as well. Attentive and fast.

There were only three other customers. I got the eggs, pancakes, and biscuits and gravy with coffee. Coffee was good. The rest of the meal, eh. It was ok. Bland. Disappointing for Southern fare. Look at my picture. The pancakes are small, they don't even fill the plate. It's not worth going out of your way to eat here. It's definitely not worth the hype or a long wait. The breakfast at Cracker Barrel is better and you get more for you money. If you're ever in Kansas City stop in at the Big Biscuit. That's how breakfast is supposed to be.
